Coming soon: Parent Portal
Posted on 27 Mar 2024
During term 2 we are rolling out a new Parent Portal, a secure online platform used to share student information between you and your child’s teachers.
To access the portal, you will need to create or have access to an ACT Government Digital Account. You can sign up now and complete the level 2 identity verification process to get ready for our launch this term. The Education Directorate website’s Parent Portal page provides detailed instructions about how to register for Parent Portal including identification documents. Visit the ACT Digital Account website to create your account: https://www.myaccount.act.gov.au/
Using the Parent Portal on your mobile phone, tablet or computer, you will be able to:
- notify us if your child is sick or explain an absence
- book parent-teacher interviews
- receive academic reports
- receive our school newsletter
- receive messages from your child’s teachers
- make payments
- access the school calendar and your child’s student timetable.
One of the many benefits of the Parent Portal is that it will be used by all ACT public schools from preschool through to year 12, so there will be no need to use a different system as children change schools during their public-school journey. If you have children at nearby schools you will not need to sign up to the system twice. You will be able to easily add a student to your account once their school has access to the Parent Portal.
If you have any issues with creating your account and completing your level 2 identity verification you can get in contact with ACT Digital Account to resolve by calling 13 22 81.
You will receive an email in term 2 with an access code to link your existing account to your child’s records. If you have any questions, please contact the front office at malkara@ed.act.edu.au or on 02 6142 0266.

2024 Student-free Days
Posted on 22 Nov 2023
Get planning for 2024 with upcoming student-free days
From 2024, there will be 4 student-free days for ACT public schools. These are the first day of each school term
· Term 1, Monday 29 January 2024
· Term 2, Monday 29 April 2024
· Term 3, Monday 22 July 2024

We use student-free days for staff development, enabling us to plan in a student-free environment. Student-free planning days have been expanded from 1 to 4 days from 2024 as part of our new Teaching Staff Enterprise Agreement which prioritises better teacher workloads for educational leadership, teaching and learning.
